As do leather balms or coconut oil. But keep in mind these will all darken the leather too.
Got a tip for us?

Yes they do. That’s why I don’t saturate it in beard oil but when you have extra after using some handle your phone a little 👍🏼
An update for you all, Etsy escalated that he violated policy and if he does it again or even contacts me, he will be removed from their site completely. Also told me if he uses my information they would investigate and litigate as needed. Also documented the treats with my local PD has a paper trail if anything happens from this. Honestly this has been crazy 😐
Can’t believe how out of hand this got over a leather case. I hope his business collapses. Can’t treat people like that. Best of luck to you. You’ve got the community on your side.
I read all that happened. That is INSANE. I can’t believe it escalated as it did. I understand how some companies (big and small) may feel that people buy and return too much- the sellers lose out that way big time; I get that but I really don’t see how he felt that’s what you were doing or felt the need to attack you as such. Especially like that. Just wow. This whole thing could have been avoided from what I could see.
If I had someone who notoriously bought and returned and it was costing me money I just wouldn’t sell to them period.

No idea, I've been trying to figure it out, but there is no info on their site.
Not sure how I feel about it....I will hold judgement until there are more pictures. To be honest, after using the Apple leather for a few days now not sure I can go back to my BS or any of my others. I just like the fit and how thin it is on the phone too much.
It will remove the coating that Apple puts on their leather. However, Apple leather cases since the 12 series haven't developed a very nice patina even with the coating removed. I had a 12 saddle brown that i removed the coating from. It started out nice, but quickly turned south and wound up in the trash.
If you want good fit and feel you go Apple. If you want your leather to develop a nice patina you go Bullstrap, Ryan London, or Andar.
It’s been about a year since I got rid of that phone. If you go through my media photos under my profile you can see it. Honestly it wasn’t great. Started out well but after 3 months it was kinda gross.
It’s cool to see the progression of it but yeah it looks a bit dirty towards the end
Yep. Those were my thoughts too. Now that I’m on Bullstrap I’m totally sold. Reminds me so much of the old Apple leather that I fell in love with and got me into leather in the first place.
Dude! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!
Just got my YMW crazy horse case for €22 it's pretty descent with nice feel on the hand and nice clickable buttons. The leather feels like nubuck/suede. Fits very tight on the device though.

Have Apple Midnight, Umber and now Ink leather cases for my Deep Purple iPhone Pro and Ink is my favorite. It just goes best with Purple.
I love this but I wish they’d close the bottom. I didn’t like the micro scratches my 12 pm sustained when I used open bottom cases.
I wish they would release a purple leather. This looks like pink Himalayan salt lol
I wish they would give you the option of having closed or open. That would be a game changer for sure.
